Thanks to Christoph Hellwig for pointing out a cleaner way to do this,
as my approach was quite ugly.

This would be necessary to make non-SMP builds work, but there is
another error in the implementation of our syscall linkage that actually
just causes sys_riscv_flush_icache to never build. I've build tested
this on allnoconfig and allnoconfig+SMP=y, as well as defconfig like
normal.

Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the
sys_mmap_pgoff() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is
meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the
same calling convention as sys_mmap_pgoff().
This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see

In the current code, there is a ! logical NOT where a bitwise ~ NOT was
intended. It means that we never return -EINVAL.

We used to have some cmpxchg syscalls. They're no longer there, so we
no longer need the include.

Despite RISC-V having a direct 'fence.i' instruction available to
userspace (which we can't trap!), that's not actually viable when
running on Linux because the kernel might schedule a process on another
hart. There is no way for userspace to handle this without invoking the
kernel (as it doesn't know the thread->hart mappings), so we've defined
a RISC-V specific system call to flush the instruction cache.
This patch adds both a system call and a VDSO entry. If possible, we'd
like to avoid having the system call be considered part of the
user-facing ABI and instead restrict that to the VDSO entry -- both just
in general to avoid having additional user-visible ABI to maintain, and
because we'd prefer that users just call the VDSO entry because there
might be a better way to do this in the future (ie, one that doesn't
require entering the kernel).

This patch contains code that is in some way visible to the user:
including via system calls, the VDSO, module loading and signal
handling. It also contains some generic code that is ABI visible.
